Kochs launch new Super PAC for Mid-terms

http://dyn.politico.com/printstory.cfm?uuid=5B15CD43-F80C-48BF-93FD-EB528655BD27

During a closed-door gathering of major donors in Southern California on Monday, the political operation spearheaded by the Koch brothers unveiled a significant new weapon in its rapidly expanding arsenal — a super PAC called Freedom Partners Action Fund.

The new group aims to spend more than $15 million in the 2014 midterm campaigns — part of a much larger spending effort expected to total $290 million, sources told POLITICO

“The Freedom Partners Action Fund will support candidates who share our vision of free markets and a free society and oppose candidates who support intrusive government policies that push the American Dream out of reach for the American people,” Short told POLITICO after a presentation to donors at the St. Regis Monarch Beach resort in Dana Point, California.

This country is absolutely "dead" unless we put an end to this unlimited spending to buy our government. Hell it won't be long until groups like this are actually hand-writing legislation for statehouses and Congress to copy and paste into laws...

oh wait...that's already fucking happening.

These folks aren't "entrepreneurs".

These folks aren't "business leaders".

These folks aren't "Patriots".

These folks are TYRANTS.

Perhaps someone should give them a history lesson about what eventually happens to tyrants.
